Society has not exerted itself to an.
great extent during the past week, but ma
boon fully ~ dull socially as the one tina
preceded it. If this state Of affairs
continue the Silver City. which has SO lon
boosted of it's rounds Of pleasures, it's con

task then truly there is something wrong

affairs are announced to take place in tn
near future. All it can now boast OF il
liveliness and iestivity is the pop OF tn
small boys cracker forestalling the joys o

birthday, which, will be observed in an un
usually elaborate amer. for
BurrEIrEs ARE PATRIOTIC.
The tewn il already fill d with strangers
and people will doubtless. one and all, en-
joy themselves. Everybody will make al
effort to sec the procession. and the racet
willattract much attention. Butte ladies ar
as fond of racing, IS are the ladies OF East
ern cities, and they now and then bet smal
amounts, and sometimes. but not often, or
the right horses. The fireworks in the even
ing will doubtless give general satisfaction
A number Of society people are entertaining
strangers who have come to the city to ce!
citrate. The Columbia Gardens are in thei,
heyday OF beauty. and the young men are
here yet. notwithstanding the young ladies
say they seldom see them, and furthermore
have promised the young ladies q moon

and they-the young men-have sufficiently
recuperated.

Carrie Kenyon; Secretary, Topsy Bishop,
The members meet every Friday at Mrs,
Dana's residence where they make fancy
work, aprons, etc., ETC., in fact all kinds oil
ornamental and useful articles to attract
the feminine eye. These meetings are made

weeks an entertainment OF some kind will
be given at which these articles will be

eQuipage. Fol example, q service of white

small, white flowers, is placed on q square
tea -cloth with q fringed border. This is
